Charlie won't be doing any wrestling for awhile

Charlie went to see his vet today - who happens to be the very famous television personality Dr. Carnegy.

Charlie has in fact severed his anterior cruciate ligament on his back left leg and needs to have surgery. I was given an estimate of $943 - so I'm going to need to sell a lot of liver in the next couple weeks while we wait for his surgery date.

He's on Metacam right now for the pain, so hopefully he won't be too uncomfortable while we wait - but the hugely sucky thing is that he can't exercise - so there won't be any adventures for a while. So I guess I'll be getting a lot of yard work done.

Poor Charlie.
